Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lithospheric movement can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building activity. This is because the lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates that are constantly moving and interacting with each other, leading to these geological events. The other options listed are also related to lithospheric movement, but are not necessarily caused by it.
